children there on the syrian side of the jordanian mira military says it's treated hundreds of casualties people injured by the bombardment people escaping the bombardment but the jordanian military say that as soon as those people have been treated by being sent back over to the syrian side so the most seriously injured have been sent to hospitals in amman the jordanian capital but again as soon as they're treated being sent back again into syria. we received people of all ages from young children to old people and we've treated all of them we've had pregnant women people suffering from burned hundreds of casualties. the jordanian government like the israeli government also is sticking to their decision not to allow any more syrian refugees in the jordanians say they've got six hundred fifty thousand syrians here already they can't cope with any more they can't afford to

take any more ends up at the moment that border stays closed but the number of refugees arriving here keeps getting higher higher and. rescuers in thailand are working out how to extract a young football team in that cage who are trapped deep inside a cave a thirteen strong group has been in there for ten days now and while they're in relatively good health heavy rain is forecast and that could make flooding inside the cave scott hiders at the site. i'm. at first glance the crowded in busy center for the rescue effort looks like it has for more than a week the good news that the boys were found by two british divers on monday night means only half of the job here is done with.

what. that second half of the job will be very difficult getting them all out safely to family members are already thinking of what they'll do once they are out when up the road he won't seek john heard the good news all she wanted to do was hug her nephew but oh my god i hope all of them come out safely my nephew everyone who's stuck in the cave divers and doctors are now going back and forth to the boys and the football coach who found refuge on a ledge when the cave flooded following to rancho rain the divers are checking on their health and taking them food and water they're said to be in good health with only slight injuries but there may said the group is four hundred meters further into the cave system than the so-called potty a beach section where rescuers originally thought they might be. getting them out isn't expected to be easy reaching them requires

a technically difficult and dangerous dive through narrow passages and low visibility and the trapped teenagers will have to be quickly trained to use scuba equipment so they can swim out a day after the boys and their coats were found all eyes are focused here and that's for two reasons this is where the dive teams are headquartered but also this is most likely where the thirteen will exit the cave and be loaded into ambulances when they will see daylight for the first time is difficult to predict rescue teams are pumping water out of the cave and continue their search for another escape route because of the difficult conditions for rescuers both in and outside the cave like the search operation the rescue is expected to be slow going scott tyler al-jazeera. when he has more now from the scene in chiang rai. so far there is no indication that the procedure to try to bring the thirteen people out of the cave has begun the local administration here in chiang rai province that is leading this operation is saying that it wants to stop that procedure as soon as possible

it's saying that could mean immediately that could be in a week it could be a month but they cannot commit to a particular time frame because it is such a changeable situation and there are a few reasons for that they want to guarantee that it is as safe as possible before they stop their procedure of bringing them out they want to make sure that the thirteen the boys and the football coach are as healthy as possible and as strong as possible to begin what will be a very long possibly slow and certainly dangerous trip out of the cave to try to build up their strength their navy personnel in there with them around the clock also medical staff giving them some basic food supplies giving them other medical attention but so far all indications are from those rescue personnel who are with the thirteen at the moment they seem to be in amazingly good health and good spirits considering the ordeal that they have been through and the ordeal they

party in this these new legislation also. breaking that fundamental law of the country. there can be but it's very noticeable that the judges who've been coming here they use dispensing justice and now they're feeling the heavy hand of the law on that old shoulders and they are determined to fight it that's it now the chief justice herself will appear on the steps of the supreme court building in the morning hopefully row. and ready to go in to take a place in the supreme court but at the moment that's a problem for the authorities how are they going to react is this going to be a standoff how will this develop how serious this will be already as you said the the european commission has said that they're breaking what is a fundamental part or a value core value of the european union which says there must be a separation of powers and that the judicial authority must have independence it's

steep muddy hills that most of them lacking vegetation well these huts are built on them when rain waters come means that this landscape is prone for natural disasters for landslides for flooding it's one of the reasons why people are so concerned and i spoke about that concern earlier with united nations high commissioner for refugees the legal grandee he talked about specifically the kind of trauma that the rains a refugee population has already encountered i came here last time in september just after they had just the right the last group of seven hundred thousand and i found the camp in the deep trauma he wouldn't speak children would nice my women with recount the most horrifying stories of rape and violence i must say that people are more confident now nine ten months of relative stability people are telling us at least you know we can sleep have given them a bit more confidence that he's no less chilling. the stories that now we hear even

more details are still very very frightening stories of abuse which means two things one is that we really need to. address it's just trauma with psychosocial interventions into that we need to address the root causes of these speak through and find solutions back in their homes that have to be thinking fundamental for these people to know that the world bank has announced that they are going to give around five hundred million dollars to the government of bangladesh to assist through him to refugees but the aid workers that i've been speaking with well they say that that's really just a drop in the bucket that this crisis is going to continue to unfold that it is severely underfunded and that the range of population is going to need a lot more help. the libyan navy says sixty three refugees and migrants a missing feared drowned in the mediterranean after their inflatable boat sank on monday and there are reports that another seven including two children drowned on
